How to align key-value pairs inside SWT.MULTI Text?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
I want to show inside SWT Text key-value pairs, each pair on a separate row. How can I align the value "column" to start from the same place.
It is mandatory to use Text SWT.MULTI, SWT.READ_ONLY for this because the information needs to be selected and to have context menu.
Thanks.

There is no very good way to do this with Text which has very limited support for formatting, but you could try using tabs:
Text text = new Text(composite, SWT.MULTI | SWT.READ_ONLY);
text.setTabs(10);
text.setText("Line 1 Col 1tLine 1 Col 2nLine 2 Col 1tLine 2 Col 2");
But this will be difficult to get right if the text in the columns varies in length a lot.

Thanks @greg-449. I combine adding spaces to match the max length of the first column and then add 't'. It's not ideal but I seems to work for my case.
